Independent research of a specific scientific topic from the field of algorithms and data structures, especially optimization, algorithmic geometry and fixed parameter complexity. The results are presented during a talk in the seminar and in a term paper. The main aim of the seminar is mastering the chosen topic by the independent analysis of the scientific work in this field. In addition, the presentation technique in the technical-scientific field should be practiced.
